Then at 6 p.m., WFTV-Channel 9 raised the issue of a book deal, and I nearly fell out of my chair.
"We heard from a reliable tipster that the Anthonys, their private eye and their lawyer are negotiating a package deal for a book with Simon & Schuster," Kathi Belich said.
The publisher, part of the CBS Corp., was not commenting, she added.
Belich said her source was "a tipster who's been right before." A tipster of the other variety wouldn't be very helpful.
Belich, at her restrained best, asked Conway about a book deal.
"I wouldn't comment on anything personal like that," Conway said.
Belich:
"Why not?"
Conway: "There's no reason to."
Oh, pal, are you ever wrong on that.
Belich: "Is it true?"
Conway: "I'm not going to way whether it's true or not true."
So who's the writer? George, Cindy, Conway or private eye Dominic Casey? The mind boggles. Given the way George and Cindy have told the story so far, would that book be classified as fiction or nonfiction? Would you buy it?

Adam Rothberg, a vice president at the publishing house, writes: "Simon & Schuster does not have a book deal with the Anthony's or anybody else associated with this case."
